I thought it would be fun to decide our collective favorite (and least favorite) Arthur episodes by playing a survival game with each season. Here's how it will work...

Since Season 1 had a lot of them, there will be two divisions. The first will have the first half, or 30 episodes/segments/stories (whatever you prefer to call them), of the season. Each one starts with a score of 5. For each turn, someone must add 1 to one episode's score and subtract 1 to that of another episode. If you like, you can also explain why you like or dislike these episodes. You can take as many turns as you like under the condition that you don't do so consecutively, meaning that you must want until another member takes a turn before you go again.

When an episode reaches 0, it's out of the game. When 5 episodes are left, they will be pushed aside and considered "finalists" and we will move on to the next division of the next 30 episodes, and the process repeats. Then we will do the same with the 10 total finalist episodes, starting with the scores they had as soon as their division reached 5 remaining episodes (This will be much cleaner than having a lengthy list of 60 episodes at once). The winner will be declared the Season 1 Forum Favorite.

[EDITED TO REPLACE STARTING SCORES WITH 5 INSTEAD OF 10 TO SPEED UP THE GAME]

On second thought...this is probably going to take way too long since this forum doesn't have that many active members yet. It'll probably be faster if episodes start at 5 instead of 10. I changed the scores accordingly.
